    The heat blowing from my space heater is strong because I have it turned up to max. My 3 seasons room doesn't have heat or air. In the summer, I open the windows and turn on the fan but in the winter I have a space heater. It looks like a stove but the log and flame are fake. I have a fake duck sitting on it right now. The duck is a leftover decoration from my parents house in the 1980's. I don't why but I'm attached to that stupid duck.

    There's a duck in the lake at a park I used to take the kids to that looked like Darth Maul. We called him that. The ducks at the park were fearless because people fed them and I made the mistake once of letting my doge off his leash. He's always been a lover, not a fighter, so imagine my surprise when he sprang into the lake and got a hold of one of the park ducks. We started screaming and he let go of the duck. It seemed okay. I was shocked because he never seemed to pay the ducks any attention.

    It was crazy because he never seemed the least bit interested in the ducks. He'd been to that park at least twice a week for years and not once did he even bark at them, even when we were standing there feeding them. As soon as I let him off his leash, he was in the water. I think his disinterest was an elaborate ruse to get me to let him loose. Mr Animal doesn't think he's that smart but he would do tricks for treats at the park but when I got him home, he would just lay there and let the treats bounce off his head and the lazy ass wouldn't even get up - he'd use his tongue to lick them over so he could eat them. O_o

    This pic looks like the duck from the park. I didn't realize it was a breed. I thought it was a deformity caused by the nasty pond water.

    I don't like duck. The only kind I've had are the dried up ones the asians get. I worked with an asian guy and he brought one in and insisted I try it. I don't even know where he got the crazy looking thing but I tasted it so I could know for sure if I liked it or not.

    He definitely has something to prove. The poor guy lost his ball sack at a young age.

    “The spirits of darkness are now among us. We have to be on guard so that we may realize what is happening when we encounter them and gain a real idea of where they are to be found.

    A customer asked if I could remove a Fisher Mama Bear stove for him. Was in good condition. One brick was split. To get it I had to forego a 7yr. Christmas parade tradition and get it today. Oh well. I'm sure there will be a parade next year.

    Mr A said no more pets. I love critters but he doesn't like them very much. I planted a lot of butterfly bushes and lantana aroud the pool and we have a ton of butterflies (I also have maypops under the butterfly bushes - caterpillars like to eat those). Mr Animal told me I could raise all the butterflies I wanted and put out as many hummingbird feeders as I wanted but I couldn't have anything that required vet bills and kenneling when we're away. He said he's sick of the responsibility. I love dogs. I like cats but, in my entire life, I've only ever been without a dog for two years.
